Have the snack foods on table(s) in front of guests and put the “real” food (and the dessert) on the dining room table.

I usually NEVER use paper plates and paper napkins – but I make an exception for Super Bowl parties (just make sure the plates are STURDY and wont flop with a pile of food on them – when in doubt, use plastic). Be sure to buy paper or plastic BOWLS for the chili. Don’t use plastic utensils. Use your everyday silverware.

Hint: If you didn’t make the chili in a crock pot, transfer it to one and keep it plugged in so the chili is always hot. The wings can be served at room temp.

Decorating: Men don’t care about the decorations – as long as you have good FOOD, they are happy.

Note regarding 2009 Blogs:When deciding on my favorite quotes for the year I decided to choose “Deep Thoughts.”(below) Yes, this says a lot about me - I do have a strange sense of humor. Last year I talked about how tacky I am(see Tacky Party) and I thought I’d share some more of that tackiness with you.So, In keeping with that theme, I decided to intersperse some tacky humor amid my brilliant take on life this year. Enjoy!
